Cross spline for a wall panel system

ABSTRACT

A wall panel system that includes a plurality of rails positioned substantially parallel to each other, a plurality of panels wherein each panel extends between two adjacent rails, and a cross spline is positioned between each pair of panels and extending substantially perpendicular to adjacent rails is provided. The rails are attachable to a wall support structure. The rails receive the panels and maintain the panels in a spaced-apart relationship. Each panel includes a peripheral edge having a groove formed into the peripheral edge such that the groove is continuous and extends about the entire peripheral edge of the panel. Both the rails and the cross spline include a tongue that is insertable into the groove of each panel to allow the rails and cross splines to be in engagement with the panels.

FIG. 1 is a top perspective view of a cross spline for a wall panelsystem of the present invention;

FIG. 2 is first side view thereof;

FIG. 3 is a second side view thereof;

FIG. 4 is a top view thereof;

FIG. 5 is a bottom view thereof;

FIG. 6 is a front view thereof; and,
